The Author Sets the Scene.........

The Beagle Sequel

Thirty years after the first Voyage of the Beagle, Charles Darwin and
Captain Fitzroy set out on again in order to bear witness to the changes
occurring between the two voyages.  Their goal was to create maps in the
service of a Universal Gentlemen's Agreement: A Guide to A Hand's-Off
Policy for Circumventing the Erosion and Exploitation of Natural Resources
in the World which they planned to introduce into their culture upon their
return.

While at sea Darwin and Fitzroy share their intense positions on organized
religion. The resonance of their theological simmering rolls over into a
quarrel triggering a tremendous storm.

Meanwhile, on a yet unchartered island in the same open sea, Fate was
forcing its way through a  fissure in the earth's core up to the
underbelly
of a volcano. Appalled at  the lateness of the hour for a visit from Fate,
the volcano blew its stack. Expelled from the volcano's throat, Fate rose
up from the earth and couched itself like a recalcitrant buddha on a crest
of spewing lava which collided with the fierce gusts of Darwin and
Fitzroy's altercation.

Sailors struggled to steer clear of the resulting vortex; but in the end
Fate had the upper hand in its unequivocal ability to sit completely still
as a sublime form of resistance.

The Beagle was dashed upon the shore and all hands lost.

Captain Fitzroy was dispatched to a well-known island on the charts called
Heaven.  Darwin, however, finds himself washed ashore on the  yet
unchartered island,  inhabitated by inexplicable creatures.

The play begins....

Mime-Version: 1.0

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
March 17, 1998 
  
Contacts: RTMARK ([email protected]) 
          Decadent Action ([email protected]) 
  
            RTMARK SPONSORS USA PHONE IN SICK DAY, APRIL 6 
             Event has enjoyed wide publicity in Britain 

The British are coming--this time not to impose their tea but to wean us
from it.   Join NPR commentator and poet ANDREI CODRESCU, other
celebrities, and millions more in resisting corporate rule by phoning in
sick April 6, and be part of the first ever USA Phone In Sick Day. 

World Phone In Sick Day has enjoyed immense popularity in Britain.  For
last year's event, over two thousand British Airways employees phoned in
sick to protest airline policies, and countless others joined them in a
more general protest.  The "consumer terrorists" known as Decadent Action
have been credited with inspiring these actions.  The avowed purpose of
Decadent Action is "the destruction of capitalism via hyper-inflation
caused by excessive spending and employee disobedience," according to
their press release. 

RTMARK's stated goals are more modest. "We want to remind Americans of
their history," an RTMARK spokesperson said.  "The American Revolution was
in large part a revolt against corporations, which are bodies formed to
allow rich people to shirk responsiblity for abuses--they allow
exploitation without representation.  The Founding Fathers thought
corporations immoral, and they were illegal here during the first fifty
years of the Republic.  Superfresh would have been banned."  (Superfresh,
by the way, used to be the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, or
A&P.) 

RTMARK's activities will include sponsorship of performances in the USA
and England, networking support, and public relations.  ANDREI CODRESCU
has agreed to join in the festivities in exchange for an undisclosed
RTMARK commission, contributed by an anonymous donor.  Andrei will be
calling in sick on the air. 

RTMARK was established in 1991 to further intelligent subversion, in some
cases by channelling funds from donors to workers for sabotage of
corporate products.  Recent and upcoming acts of RTMARK-aided subversion
are documented on RTMARK's web site, http://www.paranoia.com/~rtmark. 

Decadent Action's press release can be found at
http://www.paranoia.com/~rtmark/daphoneinsick.html. 

(Note: a short update will follow shortly before April 6.)
 
 
USA PHONE IN SICK DAY SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES: 
*   phone in sick (as Andrei says, "What's the point of going in if you're
NOT sick?"); 
*   if you must go to work, secretly do something pesky (see RTMARK's
projects list for ideas); 
*   dress up your pet with a tie (this works!); 
*   buy tons of ridiculous products (but also buy a Codrescu book); 
*   print newspaper articles or fliers declaring the low unemployment rate
a great tragedy; 
*   subscribe your boss or your company to a dozen munitions and
white-supremacy magazines; 
*   workers of the World-Wide Web unite in spamming notes that workplace
viruses have destroyed your machines; 
*   speak in a bad English accent all day; 
*   resist according to your wont and pleasure.

discodesafinado : techno as a failed revolution, and some ways out.

"In some cuts, there was Porter Ricks just looking for Flipper. He was
in some remote bay and had this underwater gear, and so he was just
sending synthesizer sounds, synthetic sounds into the water. And nothing
happened. (...)  I thought, this is what music is about : you make
strange noises into the biggest space you could imagine, which is this
human culture or the sea... and nothing happens."

machine that makes coffee, you have more contact with it. It's more

This coming Wednesday on the Hydrogen Jukebox  a special edition dedicated
to lovers of reggae with a twist.  

Hydrogen Jukebox presents....

>From Jamaica via the UK come Jerry Maloney, The Inspector and Smokey.
Three
young toasters who are prepared to go into a musical battle with the
Hydrogen crew. 

The challenge? A reggae song over Tuvan Throat Singers. Rhythmic rhyming
sing-a-long to the sonic onslaught of Merzbow and the martial thump of
Taiko Drumming Squads. 

Toasting is a style of vocal accompaniment to records, that originated in
the Caribbean. People would grab the mike and sing along to reggae,
however
now toasting is more associated with dub and jungle. As a practice, it has
similarities to rap, even though historically it precedes it.

The Hydrogen Jukebox are Zina Kaye and Martin Ng, mixing their eclectic
vision of sound every Wednesday night on Eastside (Sydney) 89.7FM: 9pm -
midnight. ALSO live over the Internet using Real Audio...
